@MotherDucker From the POV of a meteorologist: The practice of putting reporters/meteorologists in the worst of the storm is dangerous grandstanding.
With the highest winds, you can't even stand up straight, nor can you be heard through your microphone, ultimately making the effort
useless.
Somewhere, sometime someone is going to get impaled or worse on live TV and the collective managers behind the scene will shrug their shoulders and move on to the next Live In The Storm report.
